Signy

Signy was the daughter of the Geatish king Sigar and the love of Hagbard, a Scandinavian sea-king. Her father objected to her relationship with Hagbard, and Sigar decided to have the two hanged due to their illicit affair. Rather than live on without Hagbard, Signy decided to burn her own house down with herself inside, and Hagbard hanged himself from the gallows.
